I don't understand what you mean. Precisely the Bourbaki camp would be the only people who would avoid the broadcasting notation that is commonly used in math.

- medo-bear 3y ago> Thus you write 7 instead of x↦7 I meant this. Very few people look at a number 7 and think of it as a constant function
- enriquto 3y agoMy point exactly. That's what makes broadcasting natural!
- medo-bear 3y agoOur positions diverge because you take the extra-formal specification in mathematics as basis, and then say, "nah thats too formal", broadcasting is more natural. On the other hand I take elementary to undergrad mathematics as basis and say that rules about adding (using a standard '+' symbol) a scalar to a vector in numpy via broadcasting is confusing.
